Its a pleasure. good luck with it . d

You will need to increase the size of the suction line from the junction up ONE size only . also , a non return valve on the separate building inlet ON / OFF tap. If there is a less than totally sealed valve in the building , it will return air into the main suction line and delivery will...

Am I missing something here???? Your drawing indicates that the line you are going to tap into is the line between the foot valve and the inlet of the pressure pump which appears to be in the main dwelling.? Or , is there another delivery pump at the well site ?? Ive worked alot with...

Caduceus is right. A floor waste is more than likely to be underneath the hot water heater. Other than that , it is a CLASSIC blocked drain. You need to get it cleared DC

Got to agree with the dye.

One other suggestion. Try shutting off the washing machine taps and see if the noise still exists. Most people leave them on all the time. If there is a loose washer and the taps are left permanently on , it can vibrate like you mentioned.

my wife just said that people would not know all the time . what that means Its easy 3.142 multiplied by the radius of the lid which is the measure from the centre to the edge multiplied by the depth Hint .. If you keep it all in millimetres then your answer will be in litres How cool is...

John Here from Australia (dont hold that against me) Thanks

If you pop the inspection cap on the tank and lower a stick till it hits bottom. Measure. Then Pi x radius of lid squared multiplied by the depth , will give you the capacity . Ive used that simple high school formula quite a few times to determine tank volume

I did a job with exactly the same symptoms a few years back.. When I pulled the pan off the floor , there was a toilet freshener wedged in the S trap. (one of those things that hangs on the rim) Had I known that , I could have reached it with a hand from the front of the pan. Might we...
